ROSEMEAD, Los Angeles County, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 — A two-vehicle crash involving a car traveling in the wrong direction shut down westbound State Route 60 near San Gabriel Boulevard Sunday morning, October 25, according to the California Highway Patrol. At least one person reported injuries.
The CHP said the crash was reported shortly after 7 a.m. on westbound SR-60 just east of San Gabriel Boulevard, involving a white sedan and a black sedan, with one vehicle left facing the wrong way on the roadway. Units initially described one party at the scene as alert and oriented, and the agency's log shows all lanes briefly stopped as crews worked the scene before a traffic break allowed some flow to resume.
Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to the scene. A tow was requested for a white Toyota Camry with front-end damage, and dispatch logs noted traffic backing up and arriving "hot" in the area as the morning commute built, prompting a request for an additional unit to help manage the break. By mid-morning, a unit on scene still awaited the tow's arrival.
The circumstances that put a vehicle going the wrong way on the freeway remain under investigation. We wish the injured a complete recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are wrong-way crashes often so serious?
A wrong-way collision usually means a head-on or near head-on impact, because the vehicles are closing on each other instead of traveling the same direction. That kind of impact tends to cause more severe injuries than a typical rear-end or sideswipe crash.
What time of day do wrong-way crashes happen most often?
They are more common late at night and in the early morning hours, often linked to impaired, fatigued, or confused drivers entering a freeway via an exit ramp. Sunday's crash occurred during the early morning commute.
What to Do After a Wrong-Way Crash in Rosemead, CA
If you're involved in or witness a wrong-way crash, call 911 immediately and stay in a safe location away from moving traffic. Even if injuries seem minor at first, get checked by a medical professional, since impact injuries from a head-on collision aren't always obvious right away. Keep any documentation from first responders, including the CHP incident number, and follow up with your own insurer promptly. If you were a passenger or bystander, give a factual account to officers on scene and avoid speculating about fault while the investigation is ongoing.
